Sabbath Psalm 16

Sabbath Psalm 16

(from the song,‘The Problem of Pain’)

Man:

The blood, the tears, the sweat: why does it feel so wrong? Disaster, pain, and death; Oh God, where have you gone? The world was in your hands: You let it fall headlong. So either You’re not good, or You’re just not that strong.

The problem of pain is a problem we all go through. It turns us away from all we once saw in You. It’s not just an intellectual question, it’s the cry from a heart that’s breaking in two. Pain is the place where You fall from grace.

God:

The blood, the tears, the sweat; I died to right your wrong! Disaster, pain, and death; Oh man, where have you gone? The world was falling fast; I cast Myself headlong! To save your rebel souls—to prove My love is strong.

The problem of pain is a problem I too went through. I shouldered your hell and emptied myself for you. It’s not just an intellectual question; it’s the sound of a veil dividing in two. Pain is the place where I give you grace.
